A Greenacres man was jailed after he tried to break into his neighbors' trailer from underneath it, police said.

A husband and wife were sitting in their trailer in the 1000 block of Marco Court at about 9:25 p.m. on Tuesday when they heard a banging noise coming from under the floor, according to a Greenacres Department of Public safety arrest report.

The couple went outside to see what was going on. The woman, 40, ran to another neighbor's house to ask for help, and he obliged. Back at the trailer, she called out to the man, asking him why he was under there.

"This is my house," he said, before issuing a profanity. "I'm going to kill you!"

Hernandez then tried to bite the other neighbor, police said.

Police arrived and found Hernandez under the trailer, on his stomach, the report said. An officer grabbed Hernandez's left ankle and pulled him out from under the trailer. The air duct system, some pipes, and some siding had been damaged, the report stated.

Officers spoke to Hernandez, who said he was hiding under the trailer from his neighbors. He said that an armed mob of neighbors were trying to kill him, so he needed a hiding place.

"My neighbor came over to my house by himself and was going to beat me to death," Hernandez said, according to the report.

Other neighbors told police that Hernandez was walking around, trying to fight everyone in the neighborhood.

According to the arrest report, Hernandez appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.

He was arrested and booked in at the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of burglary and criminal mischief. He remained in custody Wednesday, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office booking blotter.
